Ahead of the Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid La Liga 2025-26 match, the Los Blancos are the only side with an all-win run in the Spanish top tier, having won all six matches they played so far. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid have struggled to get wins, having two wins, three draws, and a loss in their six games. The Rojiblancos are struggling at the ninth spot in LaLiga 2025-26, much because of their defensive approach, rather the "park the bus" style of play, which has proved defensively viable, but not efficient in scoring goals. Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid La Liga 2025-26 Match Predicted Lineups Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone will be implementing a defensive set-up like usual, without much doubt. Alex Baena, Jose Gimenez, Johnny Cardoso, and Thiago Almada are all expected to stay sidelined due to injury. The rest of the squad looks fine, and might start with a 4-4-2 setup. Xabi Alonso's Real Madrid CF are in excellent form. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ferland Mendy, and Antonio Rudiger are still out, while Jude Bellingham's fitness will also be a concern. However, their squad also looks fine, and they might go with a 4-2-3-1 lineup.
